I have got the ender 3 v2, which after roughly 2 month a not a lot of use, i need to replace the fans(bearing do bad sound), tho they dont cost much.

In terms of plastic cost, it is probably way cheaper to print yourself(obv it matters how much the outsource costs and how much you pay for your filament)

Another point to consider is the different materials, usually printers will work woth abs/pla out of the box(pla is easy to work with as well) and you can always upgrade to an all metal extruder to be able to print at higher temps(for more resilient materials and such)

@codingquark
As someone who wanted to get into 3d printing(also due to arduino stuff) and got one, i would absolutely say yes(but only if you are willing to give the time and effort for caring the 3d printer, as entry level ones will usually require more maintenance)

To make COVID less dangerous, i know someone who couldn't get vaccinated, and she had a really horrible covid experience, as compared to friends and family who barely felt it(and were just a bit tired)..

Been working on a level editor in #rust using #bevy and #egui (the editor will be a general editor tho)

Already got:
- Shapes creation(for collision mostly)
- Importing images(although they cannot be moved currently)
- Snapping grid

while it doesn't seem like much my focus was mostly on the shapes part of it

I know its ugly but it mostly works(woth the barely test i did for it), it should be a push lock mechanism and hopefully it will properly work out in the end

Was trying to print something that had a lot of small parts in it, causing a lot of retractions in a short span of time, and it caused the extruder to EAT INTO the filament..
The worst part, ot only happened 3 hours into the print...

@rastinza
It seems to hold well for now, guess i'll update whe/if it breaks.
I guess it also depends on how far you push it, and how much toothpaste you are tryong to squeeze out of the end.
@trinsec

Keeping on posting stuff I #3dprint , yesterday i printed a toothpaste squasher(?), to extract all tge toothpaste from the tube, I also printed a bigger handle "addon" because the original handle was too small(and reprinting the entire handle takes time, compared to the 30 minutes for the addon).

Additionally, it seems that switching from the "stock" pla that came with the #ender3v2 to the better ones i bought with the #3dprinter fixed the only printing issue i had(which was under extrusion sometimes, leaving holes in the print)
I think the stock pla was just slipping or something(and prob wasnt pure)

#3dprint -ed a caliper(because why not), and it is surprisingly somewhat accurate, also ran out of the bit of white filament i had mid print so i had to pause and switch, i have another roll of white but i want to use black for the other stuff and i think it looks better(although weird that it changes colours mid print.

It also took 7 bloody hours(which i was not prepared for mentally)

Updated my #website 's source code to make use of my new injector.
Also wrote a little "story" about it

https://rustystriker.dev/stories/injector.html

its also published under the AGPL-3.0 or higher!

#foss #rust

Just made an html command injector using #rust

Now i can push bash commands into an html file.
Why? So i could make my website auto update everytime i build/serve/update it(auto updating stuff like header, footer, adjacent files and such) and also allowing me to use the power of unix shell in html files...

Finally got myself a #3dprinter, the Ender 3 v2

Build quality feels good, took me roughly 1 hour and 20 minutes to build, then took me like another 20 minutes to level the bed(as i also replaced the springs), and after a movie break, 10 minutes to start printing(had to find the boat model)

The print is literally the first print without any modifications to the default settings, and im kinda impressed.
